The UK is in decline. Billionaire wealth is rocketing. It's time to tax the super rich. My conversation with the brilliant @gabrielzucman.bsky.social : youtu.be/1cG4ULI1yCo?...

MAJOR BREAKING: Iran has just cut off all diplomatic communications with the United States, shutting down official channels at a moment when tensions remain high. Iran is playing Trump and making him look like a fool.

Data centers are a threat to humanity, along with unregulated AI. Keep up the pressure!

Ukrainian drones have breached Moscow's air defense and Ukrainian drones are flying around Moscow right now. Other areas in russia have also been targeted and hit.

The sickening state of what only Americans call “the greatest, most powerful country in the world”. No other country wants to be a part of this.

Love how Israel and the USA carrying out repeated attacks on other countries during a ceasefire, whilst continuing to call it a ceasefire, is reported by the BBC and others as "changing the definition". No, it's breaking the ceasefire. dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/e...

Apparently not. And the cowardice of the American people has come as quite the shock to the rest of the world used to Hollywood films in which the Americans always save the day. Turns out fantasy narcissism is a national trait.

So if they can afford to do that during a couple of fitba games they can afford to do it permanently instead of profiteering cos you can be sure even at half price they'll not be making a loss. #EnergyPrices #FuckCapitalism

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

Today: seizing foreigners' assets in US accounts Tomorrow: seizing assets of his US citizen opponents Prepare for it.

Great headline from the only paper that supports Scotland.

In his “emergency address”, Farage found time to nod to this, warning: “I fear for where our society would be in a few short years if we don’t grip this and do it very, very quickly" Aye Scotland will be fucking out of it! It'll be an English civil war, you don't see this shit in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

"We were just surprised he showed up in Parliament for the first time since March. But then he probably thought it would be all about him. You think he’s on your side. But as those cleaning up in Southampton found … He’s not your friend." via Reform Are Not Your Friends

Privatisation of any public service throughout modern history has never made it better for the consumer, quite the opposite in fact, all that happens is the greedy capitalists make bigger and bigger profits while the customer pays more and more. ##FuckCapitalism

The time to get real is here. Its time to start calling in the seditious traitorous officials destroying our country.

NEW: The BBC has failed to report on a former Labour MSP's appearance in court on charges of drink-driving and causing crashes on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh 🔗 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

open.substack.com/pub/yesinpic... For those of us who live in Scotland the BBC has been trivial for years. Radio 4 is England only. Radio Scotland is viciously anti-Scottish Government, frequently wrong in fact, always biased towards Unionism though more than half the Scottish electorate wants Indy.

Its quite shocking that our UK National channels have not a word to say this morning about D Alexander and Mandelson . No news in Scotland except for 24/7 Murrell. #RadioScotlandBreakfast www.thenational.scot/news/2616437...

‘Farage whistles and his dogs come running to riot: the desecration of the memory of Henry Nowak’ Farage is a dangerous man who know exactly what he’s doing with his words. He is unleashing racial hatred and violence. If he ever takes power he’ll lead Britain to hell In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

While humanitarian organisations warned of children being starved to death, hospitals were flattened and entire bloodlines wiped from existence, Robbie Keane chose to work just dozens of miles away from the devastation, in the country responsible for it, writes Kelly Given ✍️

This is not normal. This is not right. This is not democracy.

In any 5 year cycle there are 3 elections in Scotland to campaign for. Holyrood, Council and Westminster. That takes a lot of money and for the SNP and (Scottish Greens), that takes membership donations and fundraising events. No big donors like the London parties - Lab, Tories and LibDems+ Reform!

This is the level of exceptionalism and entitlement that permeates across the unionist political hegemony!....

The SNP, Greens and Plaid Cymru have their differences, but our 'common ground is breaking free from the calamity of Westminster', Michelle O'Neill tells The National 'People see well beyond the limitations of Westminster'👇 youtube.com/watch?v=lVdv...

This!....

Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News from the morning all the way through to the evening — these are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian”

A pox on all those who voted for Trump and all those who were too lazy to vote. This disastrous shitshow was made possible by you. Fuck you all.

300+ years of English colonial rule in 35 words. Occupy a nation, create division, pick a side and fund them whilst also funding the other side, play them off against each other whilst the occupiers denude that nation of all that is of value!

A new take on that old conundrum about why the Scottish Government should be in charge of Broadcasting in Scotland. yesinpictures.substack.com/p/the-bbc-fo...

SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

BREAKING: The SNP have demanded the prime minister's independent ethics adviser investigate whether Douglas Alexander has broken the ministerial code It comes after files showed Peter Mandelson introduced him to a lobbying firm he set up with links to Russia and China and this was not declared

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 During her time in Government, Nicola Sturgeon voluntarily chose to pay back over £200,000 of her salary, so that this money would be spent on public services 💙

How the hell did Ukraine manage that! I've been to St. Petersburgh & that's just at the mouth of the Neva a few km from the main cruise/ferry terminal. That's 1800 km from Ukraine - staggering precision without being intercepted. Ukraine has developed phenomenal drone technology. Putin's home town!

Scotland could be amongst the richest nations in Europe, yet we are denied that right. Our populace denied access inperpeptuity & told 'you are not permitted'! By a political system that is enshrined in lies, denial, control, exploitation, and subjugation.

Just a simple question? If we are currently coequal members within a "Union of Equals", where is our parliamentary power of veto‽ England has one, and applies it assiduously, much to Scotlands detriment!

He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes. 5 months until the Midterms. #AccountabilityIsComing

Most of the time Scotland generates vast amounts of electricity. Most of the time we export almost as much to England & Wales. All the energy, none of the power. www.datawrapper.de/_/Jei1H/
